22 March 2027 at 7:00pm - Friends Meeting House, Norwich. We welcome back Jim Paine who will explore the extraordinary and compelling story of what is going on in the very soil beneath our feet. Modern science has opened our eyes to a wondrous world of teeming life rivalling in diversity and complexity the mightiest of rainforests or coral reefs - all this in our own gardens.  It is this all but invisible world that is the very life blood of the garden plants we nurture and the healthy soil that is essential for successful gardening. This talk takes us on a journey into the astonishing 'World Beneath our Feet' where we look at how soils form, the millions of life forms that make home there, the interweaving of chemistry and biology, as well practical advice on managing and caring for the soil in our gardens. By the the end of  the talk you will see once 'mere' garden soil as something altogether vastly richer, complex and critically precious.

Please note the earlier start time for his talk will be followed by our AGM which will take place at about 8:15pm.
